You're completely missing my point on the grasshopper thing.  The Bible thinks they have four legs when in fact they have six. 

I believe some of the apocryphal books contradict some of the canon books, and it was fallible men that decided which were canon. 

As for the "apparitions", I am of the opinion that they are hallucinated or otherwise imagined by the faithful, or in some cases by fakers. 

What kind of "temptation" is killing a man's family?  And part of what makes it so bad is that it was just God's bragging that started the whole thing, according to the Bible. 

It was a question of interpretation i believe: "Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet"
Four legs, plus legs above the feet (interpretated as not helping propel, therefore the difference between feet and leg).
Insects were also visible at that time. So people could count aswell.

In one of the gospels, don`t know where exactly, it says to follow the path that only points to God. Why were some books not included? Probably because they stayed away from talking about Jesus and what His message was. Not to forget that some were recently discovered.

See, you got proof in front of you yet you dismiss them. What if 50.000 people witnessed a miracle in the sky? Would that change things for you?

The temptation only serves one purpose: to take people away from God. Whatever the shape or form, that`s the sole purpose.
It was not God´s words that started anything, it was the devil`s desire to destroy Job`s faith and hurt God, that started it all. As in real life.
